Is anyone else riding in rainy weather and having trouble with blowing tail/brake lights? If so, do you know of any way to seal up the tail light? Looks like the water is getting through the lens and through the light socket. It was dark (this just happened about 20 minutes ago) so I really couldn't see too much outside of the cop's headlights. I'm going to look at it a bit later today, when it's light out.

Pricey solution, but XB Lights' LED sets are sealed.
I'm sure happy with mine.

Might try running some weatherstrip tape around the light shell.

I put some foam tape around the cutout for the license light when I replaced my rear light.

Finally took Loretta to a car-wash yesterday, didn't look under the seat for leaks tho.

I did not have any problems, and it was raining quite a bit a few weeks ago.
You could always try to put on some heavy grease around the light socket, just make sure its not conductive...
